Bangladesh doesn't have any active disputes/conflicts, nor any greater ambitions, thats why they're slacking off i think. Any existential threat, and they would have been armed to the teeth.
Waise now that the economy is improving,
frankly i'd love to see thunders in bangladesh AF too. And if they go for a high-low mix airforce, the thunders can replace the low-end fighters while the Sukhois or Migs form the high end strike groups.
I read somewhere about bangladesh procuring pakistani sub too. Any authenticity to that? Pakistan should offer high-tech agosta 90s too.
